Hi, as other threads have already discussed, I'd like to record audio from a keyboard extension. The keyboard has been granted both full access and microphone access. Nonetheless whenever I attempt to start a recording from my keyboard, it fails to start with the following error: Recording failed to start: Error Domain=com.apple.coreaudio.avfaudio Code=561145187 "(null)" UserInfo={failed call=err = PerformCommand(*ioNode, kAUStartIO, NULL, 0)} This is the code I am using: import Foundation import AVFoundation protocol AudioRecordingServiceDelegate: AnyObject { func audioRecordingDidStart() func audioRecordingDidStop(withAudioData: Data?) func audioRecordingPermissionDenied() } class AudioRecordingService { weak var delegate: AudioRecordingServiceDelegate? private var audioEngine: AVAudioEngine? private var audioSession: AVAudioSession? private var isRecording = false private var audioData = Data() private let targetFormat = AVAudioFormat(commonFormat: .pcmFormatInt16, sampleRate: 16000, channels: 1, interleaved: false)! private func setupAudioSession() throws { let session = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance() try session.setCategory(.playAndRecord, mode: .spokenAudio, options: [.mixWithOthers, .allowBluetooth, .defaultToSpeaker]) try session.setPreferredIOBufferDuration(0.005) try session.setActive(true, options: .notifyOthersOnDeactivation) audioSession = session } func checkMicrophonePermission(completion: @escaping (Bool) -> Void) { switch AVAudioApplication.shared.recordPermission { case .granted: completion(true) case .denied: delegate?.audioRecordingPermissionDenied() completion(false) case .undetermined: AVAudioApplication.requestRecordPermission { [weak self] granted in if !granted { self?.delegate?.audioRecordingPermissionDenied() } completion(granted) } @unknown default: delegate?.audioRecordingPermissionDenied() completion(false) } } func toggleRecording() { if isRecording { stopRecording() } else { checkMicrophonePermission { [weak self] granted in if granted { self?.startRecording() } } } } private func startRecording() { guard !isRecording else { return } do { try setupAudioSession() audioEngine = AVAudioEngine() guard let engine = audioEngine else { return } let inputNode = engine.inputNode let inputFormat = inputNode.inputFormat(forBus: 0) audioData.removeAll() guard let converter = AVAudioConverter(from: inputFormat, to: targetFormat) else { print("Failed to create audio converter") return } inputNode.installTap(onBus: 0, bufferSize: 1024, format: inputFormat) { [weak self] buffer, _ in guard let self = self else { return } let frameCount = AVAudioFrameCount(Double(buffer.frameLength) * 16000.0 / buffer.format.sampleRate) guard let outputBuffer = AVAudioPCMBuffer(pcmFormat: self.targetFormat, frameCapacity: frameCount) else { return } outputBuffer.frameLength = frameCount var error: NSError? converter.convert(to: outputBuffer, error: &error) { _, outStatus in outStatus.pointee = .haveData return buffer } if error == nil, let channelData = outputBuffer.int16ChannelData { let dataLength = Int(outputBuffer.frameLength) * 2 let data = Data(bytes: channelData.pointee, count: dataLength) self.audioData.append(data) } } engine.prepare() try engine.start() isRecording = true delegate?.audioRecordingDidStart() } catch { print("Recording failed to start: \(error)") stopRecording() } } private func stopRecording() { audioEngine?.inputNode.removeTap(onBus: 0) audioEngine?.stop() isRecording = false let finalData = audioData audioData.removeAll() delegate?.audioRecordingDidStop(withAudioData: finalData) try? audioSession?.setActive(false, options: .notifyOthersOnDeactivation) } deinit { if isRecording { stopRecording() } } } Granting the deprecated "Inter-App Audio" capability did not solve the problem either. Is recording audio from a keyboard extension even possible in general? If so, how do I fix it?
